Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a system where developers would be paid for each unit they create. This system would be easy to use and dispose of because it would have a simple mechanical structure. The technical effect of this system is that it would allow for more efficient and cost-effective development of models.

Problems solved by technology

In a dynamic battlefield, providing the right tools to the warfighter is a difficult challenge given current procurements and deployment strategies.
In other words, the new enemy tactic could not be continued long term or warfighters adapted using suboptimal methods and made this new tactic not worth continuing.
Thus, the problem simply “went away.” Clearly, this case leads to a large amount of development and procurement waste.

Abstract

A 3D printer that can use ABS-plus plastic material deployed in the battlefield for printing polycarbonate, or rubber components individually or in combination to create component parts comprised of two or more materials. A library of autonomous vehicles will be created utilizing the standard components and the 3D printer. These libraries will include a variety of light weight UGVS, fixed wings UAVS, quads rotors, hex-rotors, UGS, etc. The library will also include a variety of standard payloads that would be interchangeable from platform to platform. Each model in the library will provide the operator with a performance envelop of the printed system. A submission and approval process will be created for new devices. A common control architecture for controlling the devices will be forced on every model in the library.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 642,035, entitled “: Field Deployable Rapid Prototypable UXVs”, filed on 3 May 2012. The benefit under 35 USC §119(e) of the U.S. provisional application is hereby claimed, and the aforementioned application is hereby incorporated herein by reference.FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]Not ApplicableSEQUENCE LISTING OR PROGRAM[0003]Not ApplicableTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention relates generally to rapid prototyping using 3D printers. More specifically, the present invention relates to rapid prototyping using 3D printers in the battlefield whereby operators can build, repair, or update deployed equipment by accessing a database of components providing detailed information for selection and printing on a 3D printer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]Recent conflicts have illustrated the dynamic nature of modern conflicts. In a dynamic battlefie...
